Setting up your email in Netscape 7.1

Step One
Click "Edit" then select "Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings" from the drop-down menu that appears.

Step Two
Click the "Add Account" button as shown below.

Step Three
Ensure "Email Account" is selected and click "Next"

Step Four
Fill out the next two boxes with "Your Name" (as you wish it to appear on messages you send out) and the email address that you have setup through the NetHost Control Panel.

Step Five
Ensure "POP" is selected, and enter: mail.yourdomain.co.nz in the "Incoming Server" field (subtitute yourdomain.co.nz for your actual domain name).

Step Six
Enter the User name for your email account, which is just the full email address.

Step Seven
Choose a name for this account - this can be anything you like, we suggest you make it the email address of the account for ease of indentification.

Step Eight
Check through the details listed to ensure no typo's or errors - if everything is correct click "Finish". If there is any error click "Back" to rectify it.

Step Nine
Your account is now setup. Close the current window and click the "Get Msgs" button on the toolbar.

Step Ten
Netscape will now attempt to connect to the email server, once it does it will ask you to enter the email password for this account. Enter the password you set when you created the account and then tick the "Use Password Manager..." checkbox. This will ensure you don't need to enter the password each time you check your email.
